Summary

The world moved on from runesmiths. Vivi didn’t.

A curse from birth has doomed Vivi to die when she turns eighteen. She’s a masterful runesmith, and if she could just convince arrogant ether hunters that her family has solved runeswords’ fatal flaw, she might earn enough ether to save herself.

When a rebellious spirit defies his handler to bond with Vivi, she becomes a fugitive, escaping capture only to land in an inescapable demonic prison.

The bright side? She’s an ether hunter now—with an endless supply of monsters from which to harvest ether, hone her spirit’s power, and finally test her runeswords.

But first, she must learn how to wield one.

Dive into an epic adventure following a hard-working, ruthless MC who pursues both crafting and combat while ignoring warnings about things being "impossible" or "forbidden."

The main reason i gave this negative review is that the MCs (both of them) are stupid and annoying, tho in different ways. There were highs but most of the time its lows. Plot Armor is definitely present and not in a good way. The only plus is that for one credit you get a lot of hours (suffering) but that really is it. Only buy this if you have nothing else.
